In that case I'm sure they had some fire in the wire.

How much different would the response have been if I started ranting about amps and the FCC.

I'm surprised that they would go to channel six. That's usually the superbowl channel down here in Alabama.

I have no idea why 6, all I know is one suggested 15 and the other said lets drop down to 6. Never heard them after that.

Could be lots of things. D.O.E. (Department of Energy) has vehicles like that for escorting nuclear weapons transport. Could even be FBI, CIA, Homeland Security or just a third party contractor working in the RF field.

I can setup a cobra 25 to bleed all over 40 channels. I can also use the same radio to peg your meter from 5 miles away and thats with a bare foot radio! It will sound like #### but it can be done.

There are all kinds of little tricks to do to a radio to make you "think" it's a big radio
